I did an upgrade a while back and comments worked perfectly for quite a while after that upgrade (too well, in fact; they were mostly spam). I made no changes whatsoever in my settings or files before this problem appeared – no new plugins, no template changes, nothing. And I only have 3 active plugins: Explicit Category Sort, Dashborad Options and Subscribe me.

Regarding the search… humpf… I made several searches for magic quotes and add magic quotes, which came up empty… I forgot to include the understrokes. :/

Still, it doesn’t seem to be any of those problems, since they all arose after changes while mine came up without changing a thing… by me at least. I don’t know if my provider might have changed something in the settings without telling me.

In any case, replacing wp-comments-post.php with a fresh copy solved the problem.

Thanks

Yuck indeed. Thanks for your wishes, although if past experiences count for anything, I’m not expecting to have this thing solved before late tomorrow afternoon. Those datacenter guys are *really* incompetent. I’m putting pressure on the host (which is generally fine) to change to another datacenter, but they say they just paid for it and don’t have the resources right now to swap.

Anyway, once I have the problem of the email solved, I’ll post an update here, regardless of what happens with the WP blanking issue. I guess that even if it’s solved too that in itself may be interesting to someone that might have a similar problem in the future.

I am. 2.0.4, more specifically.

Hm… I see that through there you get access to one’s hosting area. Now I see the advantage. I won’t try it right away, though: I’m having some trouble with my hosting services (I’m without mail, for instance) and I want to make sure first that it isn’t having an impact on this problem. If the problems with the hosting are solved and the trouble with the wordpress installation remains, I’ll contact you there.

spencer, the blog appears just fine, all seems to work just fine (except the dashboard), which implies that there are no problems with the database, everything was properly backed up, the renaming of the folder where the old installation was (and still is) makes the new one, basically, a new one, and the fact that the blanking began before any changes were made proves that it has nothing to do with the changes.

Blank.

No and no: with edit.php I don’t get a blank page: it pops up!… (wheee! Not all is lost!) and I don’t have access to the servers error logs.
